Description
j 1 2321678 "GEM19W OF PULLEY CYLINDER IN A BELT-TYPE CONTINUOUSLY
VARIABLE TRANSMISSION The contents of Application No. Helsei 9-11626, with a f iling date of January 24, 1997 In Japan, are herein incorporated by reference.
The present invention relates to an arrangement of a pulley cylinder of a tandem-type pulley cylinder for a vehicular belt-type continuously variable transmission which prevents a development of a relative displacement between a first cylinder member and a second cylinder member, both of the first and second cylinder members constituting the pulley cylinder, in their peripheral directions along with a revolution of a related shaf t portion of a stationary conical pulley component.
Japanese Patent Application First Publication No.
Heisei 8-14347 published on January 16, 1996 exemplifies a movable sheave drive mechanism of a previously proposed belt-type continuously variable transmission.
In the previously proposed belt-type continuously variable transmission disclosed in the above-identified Japanese Patent Application First Publication, a movable conical pulley component is provided with a hollow sheave cylindrically shaped portion located on a rear surface portion of the movable sheave with respect to a conical face on which a V-belt is wound. M,Ovement of the movable conical pulley component is restricted by means of a shaf t member (drive shaft) so that the hollow cylindricallyshaped portion Is movable along an axial direction of the 2 shaft portion of the stationary conical component. Pressurized working fluid pressures within two cylinder chambers aligned in the axial direction of the shaf t portion and formed in a space above the rear surface cause the movable conical pulley component to be moved toward or away from the opposing stationary conical pulley component.
The previously proposed cylinder structure forming the partitioned cylinder chambers will be described below in detail.
One end of a first piston member is fixed onto the rear surface of the movable conical pulley component. The f Ixst piston member is in an approximately cylindrical portion of a first cylinder member is contacted with an outer peripheral surface of the first piston member via a seal member so as to be enabled to be slid in an axial direction and in a peripheral direction. The f Irst cylinder member is in an approximately lateral U- shaped cross section. The approximately U-shaped inner peripheral surface of the first cylinder member Is contacted with the cylindrically shaped portion of the movable conical component via another seal member so as to be enabled to be slid in an axial direction thereof and a peripheral direction thereof. A first cylinder chamber is formed by means of the first piston member, the first cylinder member, and the movable conical pulley component.
In addition, an opposing end of an approximately lateral U-shaped second cylinder member is contacted against an outer peripheral end of the first cylinder member through the axial direction of the shaft portion. An Inner peripheral surf ace of the second cylinder member is coaxially fixed onto the shaft portion.
FurtherTnore, a disc-shaped second piston member is 3 coaxially arranged on the shaft portion within the second cylinder chamber. An outer peripheral surf ace of the second piston member is contacted with an inner peripheral surface of the second cylinder member via a seal member so as to be enabled to be slid in both axial and peripheral directions.
An Inner peripheral surface of the second piston member Is contacted against an inner peripheral portion of the movable conical pulley component so that a step portion formed on the inner peripheral portion of the movable conical pulley component causes an axial displacement toward the movable conical pulley component to be limited.
is In such a tandem type pulley cylinder structure as described In the above-mentioned publication P since the first piston member is fixed onto the shaft portion via the movable conical pulley component and the second shaf t portion of the stationary pulley component is fixed onto the axle member, both of the first piston member and the second cylinder member do not make relative displacement in their peripheral directions with respect to the shaft portion due to revolution of the shaft portion of the stationary conical pulley component.
On the other hand. the f Irst cylinder member and the second piston member are not fixed onto the shaft portion of the stationary conical pulley component nor fixed onto the movable pulley component.

Reference will hereinafter be made to the drawings in order to facilitate a better understanding of the present Invention.
First, Fig. 1 shows a skeleton view in a power transmission system of a belt-type (so-called, V-belt type) continuously variable transmission to which a pulley arrangement in a preferred embodiment according to the present invention is applicable.
In Fig. 1, an engine 20 as a prime mover of an automotive vehicle has an output shaft 20a linked to a f luid coupling device 22 as a fluid transmission device (specifically, a torque converter). The fluid coupling device 22 is provided with a lock-up mechanism.
An output axle of the fluid coupling device 22 is linked to a rotary shaf t 23. The rotary shaf t 23 is linked to a forward/reverse change-over mechanism 25. The forward/reverse change-over mechanism 25 includes a planetary gear mechanism 27, a forwarding clutch 40, and 8 a reverse brake 45.
The planetary gear mechanism 27 includes a sun gear 29, a pinion carrier 35 having two pinion gears 31 and 33, and an internal gear 37. The sun gear 29 is linked to the rotary shaf t 23 so as to always be integrally revolved with the rotary shaf t 23. The pinion carrier 25 ls; enabled to be linked with the rotary shaf t 23 by means of the forwarding clutch 40. In addition, the internal gear 37 is enabled to be fixed onto a stationary portion of the belt-type continuously variable transmission by means of the reverse brake 45. The pinion carrier 35 is linked to a drive shaft 24 arranged on an outer periphery of the rotary shaft 23.
The drive pulley 50 includes a stationary conical pulley component 52 and a movable conical pulley component 55, each conical pulley component having a conical face opposed to each other to form an approximately letter V-shaped pulley groove.. A V-belt 58 is wound about the V-shaped pulley groove to form an endless belt. The stationary conical pulley component 52 is integrated with the drive shaf t 24. The movable conical pulley component 68 is attached onto a driven shaf t 62 so as to be enabled to be moved only in an axial direction by means of a ball spline of a spline coupling and is movable in the axial direction of the driven shaft 62 by means of a hydraulic pressure acted upon a driven pulley working fluid cylinder chamber 66 formed on a rear surface thereof.
These drive pulley 50, V-belt 58, and driven pulley 60 constitutes the Vbelt type continuously variable transmission mechanism 70. A drive gear 72 is fixed onto a drive axle 62. The drive gear 72 is meshed with an idler gear 76 on an idler axle 74. A pinion gear 76 disposed on the idler axle 74 is always meshed with a final gear 78. A pair of pinion gears 82 and 84 are meshed with a pair 9 of side gears 86 and 88, each side gear 86 and 88 being a corresponding one of a pair of output shafts 90 and 92.
A rotating force inputted from the output shaft 20a of the engine 20 into the power transmission mechanism is transmitted to the forward/reverse change-over mechanism 25 via the f luid coupling device 22 and the rotary shaft 23. At this time, the forwarding clutch 40 is engaged. When the reverse brake 45 is released, the rotating force of the rotary shaft 23 is transmitted to the drive shaft 24 In the same rotating direction via the integrally rotating planetary gear mechanism 27.
On the other hand, In a case where the forwarding clutch 40 is released and the reverse brake 45 is engaged, an action of the planetary gear mechanism 27 causes the rotating force of the rotary shaft 23 to be transmitted to the drive shaf t 24 with its rotating direction reversed. The rotating force of the drive shaft 24 is transmitted to a differential device 80 via the drive pulley 50, the V-belt 58, the driven pulley 62, the drive gear 72, an idler gear 76, the Idler axle 74, the pinion gear 76, and the final gear 78 so that the output shaf ts 90 and 92 are revolved in the forward direction or reverse direction.
It is noted that in a case where both of the forwarding clutch 40 and the reverse brake 45 are released, the whole power transmission mechanism is in a neutral state.
When the power transmission is carried out, the movable conical pulley component 56 of the driven pulley 50 and the movable conical pulley component 68 of the driven pulley 60 are moved in the axial direction thereof, a radius of positions of the movable conical pulley components 56 and 68 contacted against the V belt 58 is varied so that a revolution ratio between the drive pulley 50 and the driven pulley 60 can be changed.
For example, when a width of the letter V-shaped pulley groove of the drive pulley 50 is widened together with a narrowing of a width of the letter V-shaped pulley groove of the driven pulley 60, the radius of the position of the corresponding movable conical pulley component contacted against the V- belt 58 at the driven pulley 50 becomes reduced. The radius of the position of the corresponding movable conical pulley component contacted against the V-belt 58 at the driven pulley 60 is, in turn, enlarged. Consequently, a large gear shift ratio can be achieved. If the movable conical pulley components 56 and 68 are moved in the opposite directions to the abovedescribed directions, the gear shift ratio is, in turn, reduced.
Next, a whole structure of the drive pulley 50 and its drive mechanism in the belt -type continuously variable transmission shown in Fig. 1 will be described in more detail with reference to Fig. 2.
It is noted that an upper part of Fig. 2 with the drive shaft 24 as a center indicates that the movable conical pulley component 56 is separated from the stationary conical pulley component 52 and a lower part of Fig. 2 with the drive shaf t 24 as the center indicates that the movable conical pulley component 56 is approached to the stationary conical pulley component 52.
The stationary conical pulley component 52 is integrated with the drive shaf t 24 which is an axial member rotatably supported on a casing 103 via bearings 101 and 102.
The movable conical pulley component 56:Includes: a main body (conically shaped main body) 56a coaxially arranged on an outer periphery of the drive shaft 24 and 11 1 having a conical f ace opposed to the conical face of the stationary conical pulley component 52; and a hollow cylindrical portion 56b in an approximately cylindrical shape disposed integrally with an Inner peripheral position of a rear surf ace (a surface not opposed to the stationary conical pulley component 52) of the pulley main body 56a.
The hollow cylindrical portion 56b is coaxially disposed on the outer periphery of the drive shaft 24 and is linked to the drive shaft 24 so that a ball spline of a spline coupling formed together with the drive shaft 24 allows the hollow cylindrical portion 56b of the movable conical pulley component 56 to be moved only in the axial direction of the drive shaft 24.
In Fig. 2, reference numeral 104 denotes each ball (spherical body) of the ball spline.
A drive pulley cylinder chamber 54 is formed on a rear surface of the movable conical pulley component 56. The drive pulley cylinder chamber 54 Is divided into a first cylinder chamber 54a and a second cylinder chamber 54b aligned In the axial direction of the drive shaft 24. The drive pulley cylinder chamber 54 used to drive the movable conical pulley component 56 to be moved constitutes a tandem-type cylinder structure.
An opening end la of an approximately cylindrically shaped f Irst piston member 1 is fixed onto a step portion 56c formed on the rear surf ace of the movable conical pulley component main body 56a and is enclosed on the rear surf ace of the movable conical pulley component main body 56a. The f Irst piston member 1 is axially arranged on the drive shaf t 24 so as to be extended away from the stationary conical pulley component 52.
A ring-shaped first seal member 2 is attached along 12 a peripheral direction of an outer peripheral surf ace of the other opening end 1b of the first piston member 1. An inner peripheral surface of an outer cylindrically shaped portion 3a of a f irst cylinder member 3 is contacted against the outer peripheral surface of the first piston member 1 via the f 1rst seal member 2 so that the f Irst piston member 1 ls enabled to be slid in the axial direction of the drive shaf t 24 and in the peripheral direction of the f irst member 3.
The first cylinder chamber 3 includes: a) the above-described outer cylindrically shaped portion 3a extended coaxially along the drive shaf t 24 in a direction so as to be separated from the stationary conical pulley component 52; b) an inner cylindrically shaped portion 3b extended coaxially with the drive shaf t 24 toward the stationary conical pulley component 52 and which ls continued with the outer cylindrically shaped portion 3a; and c) a dlsc-shaped portion 3c in an approximately disc-shaped form. An inner peripheral end of the first cylinder member 3 is slidably contacted on the outer peripheral surface of the hollow cylindrical portion 56b via a ring-shaped second seal member 9.
An inner peripheral surface of the di-sc-shaped portion 3c is contacted against an outer peripheral surf ace of the hollow cylindrical portion 56b of the movable conical pulley component 56. The inner portion 3a and the disc portion 3c, constitute a bottom portion of the first cylinder member 3.
A space enclosed by the first piston member 1, the f 1rst cylinder member 3, and the movable conical pulley--component 56 provides the f irst cylinder chamber 54a.
In addition, an opening end of the lateral U-shaped second cylinder member 5 arranged coaxially with the drive 13 shaft 24 is linked to an outer surface of the first cylinder member 3, the second cylinder member 5 axially supporting the first cylinder member 3. An opening end 5a of the cylindrical portion 5b of the second cylinder member 5 is contacted with and enclosed on the disc portion 3c of the second cylinder member 3 through the axial direction of the drive shaft 24. The second cylinder chamber 54b is formed by partitioning a predetermined space with the inner peripheral surface of the disc portion 5b constituting the bottom portion of the second cylinder member 5 f ixed onto an outer periphery of the drive shaft 24.
A linkage between the above-described second cylinder member 5 and the above-described first cylinder member 3 will be described below.
The second cylinder member 5 is f ormed with a multiple number of splines 5c (engagement surface portions) extended in the axial direction of the drive shaf t 24 along the peripheral direction of the hollow cylindrical portion 56b. A part (opening end) of the splines 5c is contacted with an inner peripheral portion 3b of the first cylinder member 3. Then, both portions of the inner cylindrical portion 3b and of the opening end 5a of the second cylinder member 5 are linked together in a socket and spigot joint form. In addition, these portions are in a spline coupling to the ring member 6 welded to the link portion 3d. It is noted that the link portion 3d of the first cylinder member 3 is, as shown ln Fig. 2, an approximately letter L-shaped cross sectional portion.
The ring member 6 has a shape as shown in Fig. 2 and Fig. 3 and, furthermore, shown in Fig. 4.
As typically shown in Fig. 3, one side surface 6a (the reference numeral 6a is shown in Fig. 4) constitutes a welded surface contacted and welded against the link 1, 14 portion 3d of the f irst cylinder member 3 coaxially through the axial direction of the drive shaft 24. The other side surface 6b (the reference numeral 6b is shown in Fig. 4) forms a rotor portion for a revolution speed sensor 100 with convex portions 6c along a peripheral direction at a regular Interval of space.
In addition, convex portions are formed along an inner peripheral surf ace of the ring member 6 for each unit of a predetermined angular interval from a reference circle S1 toward a radial direction of the ring member 6. The respective convex portions constitute the splInes 6d. These splInes 6d are fitted into the opposing splines Sc which constitute the engagement surfaces formed on the outer peripheral surf ace of the second cylinder member 5.
Each splIne 6d formed on the ring member 6, as shown in Fig. 4, Is formed only on the inner peripheral surf ace of the other side surface 6b. An end surface 6e formed on the other side surface 6b of each convex portion at the corresponding one of the splines 6d Is cut out obliquely with respect to the outer peripheral surface of the second cylinder member 5.
The outer cylindrically shaped portion 3a of the second cylinder member 3 opposed radially to the one side surface 6a on the inner peripheral surface of the ring member 6 is formed with a ring- shaped groove 5d (refer to Fig. 4) along the peripheral direction. A snap ring 7 is disposed at a center peripheral position in a radial direction of the ring-shaped groove 5d. The snap ring 7 is caught in from both sides thereof in the axial direction of the drive shaft 24 by means of the corresponding one of the splines 5c faced toward the movable conical pulley component 56 and by means of the corresponding one of the splInes 6d of the ring member 6. Hence, the axial displacement of the first cylinder member 3 with respect to the second cylinder member 5 is restricted. The assembly of the snap ring 7 into the groove 5d will be described below. 5 That is to say, when with the snap ring 7 attached onto the ring-shaped groove 5d, the second cylinder member 5 Is fitted along the drive shaft 24 from a left-handed side as viewed from Fig. 2, the snap ring 7 is contacted on the end surface 6e of any one of the splines 6d of the ring member 6. Since the contacted end surface 6e Is slanted, the snap ring 7 is pressed toward a more inside in the radial direction of the ring member 6 and escaped Into the ring-shaped groove 5d as it is being fitted into the groove 5d.
The splInes 5c of the second cylinder member 5 pass over the escaped snap ring 7. When this passage is finished, a self restoring force of the snap ring 7 causes the snap ring 7 to be returned toward an outer diameter direction.
This causes the snap ring 7 to be contacted axially against one of the splines 6d of the ring member 6 to function as a stopper.
As described above, the snap ring 7 can easily be assembled and it is not necessary to install the snap ring 7 on an outer end exposed side of the continuously variable transmission mechanism shown in Fig. 1.
The inner peripheral surface of the disc portion 5b of the second cylinder member 5 is fixed onto the drive shaft 2 4 In the following manner. As shown in Fig. 2, the Inner peripheral surface of the disc portion 5b is contacted on the step portion (spline end surface) formed on an outer periphery of the drive shaft 24. Then, a rear surface of the inner peripheral surface of the disc portion 5b Is pressed by means of the bearing 102 via a separator 16 106, the axial movement of the second cylinder member 5 being limited by means of a letter C-shaped ring member 105. An approximately hollow disc- shaped second piston member 8 is coaxially arranged on the drive shaft 24 in the second cylinder chamber 54b. The second cylinder chamber 54b is partitioned into two chambers with respect to the axial direction of the drive shaft 24. An outer peripheral surface of the second piston member 8 is 10 slidably contacted with the inner peripheral surface of the second cylinder chamber 5 via a rIng-shaped third seal member 9 so as to be enabled to be slid In its axial direction and its peripheral direction. In addition, an inner peripheral surface of the second piston member 8 is contacted against the hollow cylindrical portion 56b of the movable conical pulley component 56. The step portion 56d formed on the hollow cylindrical portion 56b causes the axial displacement toward the movable conical pulley component 56 to be limited. The stopper f ormed between radially opposed surfaces causes the relative displacement in the peripheral direction of both second piston member 8 and movable conical pulley component 56 to be limited so as to be linked to the hollow cylindrical portion 56b of the 25 movable conical pulley component 56. It is noted that the step portion 56c is also called a rear recessed portion. Fig. 5 shows the stopper formed between the second piston member 8 and the hollow cylindrical portion 56b of the movable conical pulley component 56. 30 A first pair of flat surfaces (planes) 10a and 10b are formed constituting a width-across-flats fitting on the outer peripheral surface of the hollow cylindrical portion 56b. A second pair of flat surfaces (planes) 11a 17 and 11b constituting the width-across-flats fitting and engaged so as to be opposed to one of the first pair of flat surfaces (planes) 1 Oa and 1 Ob are formed on the inner surface of the second piston member 8. In detail, a part of a reference circle S2 def inIng a contour on an inner peripheral surface of the hollow cylindrical portion 56b of the movable conical pulley component 56 is set as a flat surface whose shape in the radial direction is different from the reference circle 10 S2. Hence. the engagement surface portions 10a and10b of the hollow cylindrical portion 56b which have the shape In the radial direction are set as the flat engagement surfaces 11a and 11b whose radial directional shapes are different from another reference circle S3. is That is to say, the hollow cylindrical portion 56b and the second piston member 8 are coupled together In the, so-called, width-across-flats fitting so that their relative displacements In the peripheral directions are restricted. The first and second pair of f lat surfaces 10a 20 and 10b and 11a and 11b constituting the width-acrossflat fitting are disposed symmetrically with respect to each other. It may alternatively be not necessary to make the first and second pair of flat surfaces 10a and 10b and 11a 25 and 11b parallel to the axis of the drive shaft 24. For example. they may be slanted toward the movable conical pulley component 56 so that their diameters become large. The engagement surface constituting the stopper (two positions) is not limited to two surfaces in the 30 peripheral direction but may be three surfaces (three_ positions). The whole surface of opposing surfaces may be set as the engagement surface portions and the contour may be 18 set in regular polygonal shapes such as regular hexagonal shapes.
In addition, the shape of the engagement surface is not limited to a flat surface but may be constituted by convex or recess shaped curved surface in its radial direction. For example, the whole contour of opposing surface may be set in an oval shape so as to have a different form of convex or recess In its radial direction form the reference circles S2 and S3.
Reference numerals 110 through 113 in Fig. 2 denote working fluid (oil) axially extended and approximately radially extended passages penetrated through the drive shaft 24 and the hollow cylindrical portion 56b of the movable conical pulley component 56 to supply the working fluid from a hydraulic source to the respective first and second cylinder chambers 54a and 54b.
Next, an action of the pulley arrangement in the embodiment described above will be described below.
In the above-described pulley cylinder arrangement, the working fluid supplied to each cylinder chamber 54a and 54b via the respective working f luid passages 110 through 113 causes a hydraulic pressure of the f irst cylinder chamber 54a and the second cylinder chamber 54b to be varied. Accordingly, the first piston member 1 and the second piston member 8 are individually moved or moved together in the axial direction of the drive shaft 24. Consequently, the movable conical pulley component 56 is approached to or separated from the stationary conical pulley component 52. 30 The cylinder members 3 and 5 and the piston members 1 and 8 constituting the respective cylinder chambers 54a and 54b are revolved together with the drive shaft 24. At this time, since the peripheral displacement of 19 the first cylinder member 3 to the second cylinder member 5 fixed onto the drive axle 24 is limited, the relative displacement In the peripheral direction between the first cylinder member 3 and the second cylinder member 5 can be prevented from being generated. Consequently, peripheral directional slips and/or twists of the first and second seal members 2 and 4 Interposed between the first piston member 1 on which the first cylinder member 3 Is slidably contacted and the hollow cylindrical portion 56b of the movable conical pulley component 56 can be avoided.
Consequently, the life of each seal member 2 and 4 is improved due to a reduction of a wear out generated on the seal members 2 and 4.
In addition. since the first cylinder member 3 is a thin member. a rigidity of the f Irst cylinder member 3 by connecting a midway through the first cylinder member 3 to the second cylinder member 5 can be improved.
Furthermore, since the ring member 6 is attached onto the first cylinder member 3, the rigidity of the pulley cylinder arrangement can be Improved. In addition, it is not necessary to attach another rotor member for the revolution speed sensor 100 into the ring member.
It Is noted that although Fig. 2 shows an example of forming a rotor on a side surface of the outer surfaces of the ring member 6, the rotor portion may be formed on the outer peripheral surface of the ring member 6 and the revolution sensor 100 may be disposed so that the axle of the rotor faced radially toward an upward part of Fig. 2.
Similarly, the peripheral mutual displacements of the second piston member 8 with respect to the hollow--cylindrical portion 56b of the movable conical pulley component 56 are llmited by means of the, so-called, the width-across-flats fitting.
Hence, the lateral slips and twists of the third seal member 9 interposed between the outer peripheral surface of the second piston member 8 and the second cylinder member 5 can be avoided. Consequently, since the wear out generated on the seal member 2 is reduced, the life of the seal member 2 is improved.
Such a simple acceptance of the width-across-f lats fitting as described above is considered as the (revolution) stopper between the ring member 6 and the second cylinder member 5.
Since, In the embodiment, both of the f irst cylinder member 3 and second cylinder member 5 are coupledIn a spline coupling, a slight play is present in the peripheral direction. However, a minute displacement of the slight play Is compensated for due to a slight peripheral deflection of the seal members 2 and 4. This can be applied equally well to the seal member 9 between the second piston member 8 and the second cylinder member 5.
In addition, a gap corresponding to the play is formed when such a play as described above occurs. However, since the second piston member 8 is pressed against the step portion 56d of the hollow cylindrical portion 56b by means of the hydraulic fluid pressure, the working fluid is not leaked through the gap of the play even though such a stopper as described above is adopted. The stopper may be constituted by a key coupling in addition to a welding, press fitting, spline coupling, and the width-across-flats fitting. In the case of the key coupling, it is necessary to provide a key stop. 30 It is noted that the drive shaf t 24 corresponds to the shaf t portion of the stationary conical pulley component and the rear surf ace of the movable conical pulley component includes: the rear surf ace of the movable 21 conical pulley main body 56a (having the rear recessed portion 56c); and the outer peripheral surface of the hollow cylindrical portion 56b having the outer peripheral end.
The stationary (first) and movable (second) conical pulley components (also, called a stationary sheave and a movable sheave, respectively) are exemplified by United States Patent No. 5,439,419.
